The Padre had to compose his face before he responded to these compliments. "I'm reecht glad, fair lady," he replied, "that my bit discourse was to your mind. Come, wee wifie, we must be stepping." Quite suddenly all the group, with the exception of Mrs. Poppit, melted away.
"No, it is here," and Valmai pressed her hand on her neck; "you know I was to wear it here instead of on my finger until next year." "Until I came back, darling; and until I took it off myself and placed it on your finger. Come, wifie, where is it?" Valmai allowed herself to be persuaded, and Cardo, undoing the white satin ribbon, drew off the ring, and placed it on her finger.
'And, said Yusuf, 'these women are no that ill for wives, as I ken owre weel' and he sighed. 'I had as gude and douce a wee wifie at Bona as heart culd wish, and twa bonny bairnies; but when I cam' back frae my rounds, the plague had been there before me. They were a' gone, even Ali, that had just began to ca' me Ab, Ab, and I hae never had heart to gang back to the town house.
But he canna keep 'is spoon oot o' ilka body's porridge. He's fair daft to tear doon the wa's that cut St. Giles up into fower, snod, white kirks, an' mak' it the ane muckle kirk it was in auld Papist days. There are folk that say, gin he doesna leuk oot, anither kale wifie wull be throwin' a bit stool at 'is meddlin' heid." "Eh, nae doubt. There's aye a plentifu' supply o' fules in the warld."
Robert stood by her much perplexed, feeling himself a good deal of a culprit, but inwardly conscious that he knew a great deal more about Langham than she did. 'My dear wifie, he said to her, 'I am certain Langham has no intention of marrying. 'Then more shame for him, cried Catherine, flushing.
He would have expected her to be a little condescending towards Carlos, to whom in brains she was infinitely superior. But no! Carlos had mastered her, and she was grateful to him for mastering her. He had taught her in three weeks more than she had learnt on two continents in thirty years. She talked of him precisely as any wee wifie might have talked of the soldier-spouse.
When "hubby" caught a fish, the pair celebrated the catch by enthusiastically kissing, totally regardless of the surprise or envy that might be excited in the bosom of the poor boatman, and when "wifie" caught a fish the same procedure was repeated.
"Nonie, nonie." "Never did, did he?" "Never." "Only married her, didn't he?" "That's allie." "Zada is only really wifie?" "Only onlykins." Charity listened with a greed of self-torment like a fanatic penitent. The chatter of the two had none of the indecency she had expected, and that made it the more intolerably indecent.
"Oh, surely not, my little wifie! And then you remember that, as you told me how truly you would love me, I leaned forward to your lips, and " "Oh, help! Brute, you have cut my mouth! You have struck me with your ring." "Struck you! Now who would have thought that spring day when we planned out our future, that this also was in the future waiting for me and you? And this! and this!"
Wine, women and the deuces wild was his specialties, and when little wifie tried to read the riot act to him at 3 a. m. he just naturally told her where she got off. And on occasions, when the deuces hadn't been runnin' his way, or the night had been wilder than usual, he was quite rough about it. Yet she'd stood for that sort of thing nine long years before applyin' for a decree.
